It's hard to
talk about the details of this eerie story without giving anything away, but it
had me wondering and just a tad afraid from the beginning. The premise is very
simple. One day everyone is gone except one person and you are presented with
various reasons why as he moves through the story. But you never really
understand why until the end. And even then, I can think of at least three
explanations and each makes sense within the context of the
story.

I'd love to
say more, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Read it! This story is
absolutely top notch!

5-stars Mind Bending
Apocalyptic Tale

If the Mobius Strip was to be
represented in literary form, it would be this cryptic story by Enright that
accomplishes such. It speaks of an end--our end, the world's end--but what is
transfixing here is the beginning. Or, rather, the amorphous signpost that one
expects to mark the onset of a tale. Enright has, in a brightly quirky fashion,
captured that essence of life when it reaches the point where how it all began
seems no closer than a forgotten horizon.

And through this twisting tale, a
cast of familiar archetypes roam. The thinker. The muscle. The creative. The
fallen. The forgotten. Each a piece of a puzzle that, when complete, seems
instantly rearranged to imply something altogether different than what was just
read.
